Saturday morning I woke up early and went to my Sister Nanette's mother in laws house for an awesome cooking class by Chef Brad. Anyone heard of him? He is amazing! Truly amazing. My mom and Sister in law Ruth have been telling me about him for months and about his concepts but I knew I had to attend his class to catch the fever. It was so nice to go and enjoy some girl time and learn healthier habits in my cooking. I had heard so many times that it would be life changing and I think it truly has been. He was motivating without being overwhelming. He helped us understand that cooking healthier seems harder now but will pay off in the long run and I really believe that. He is big on staying away from processed foods and white flour and has come up with awesome substitutes using different grains. He actually stays away from wheat and taught us all about the other grains that are complete protiens and how to cook with them. I know I can't completely change everything we eat and eliminate these things but I can definitely do better about healthier options for my family. Check out his website. He is inspiring!
After his class I went to my friend Sharla's baby shower. She is married to our good friend/more like a brother Mossie. He lived with us during highschool and has always stayed close. Now they live just a few miles away and come over all the time for family dinners and events. She is having her first baby boy and we are so excited for them! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but it was a fun time and nice to just have day without kids! Matt took the kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens and my kids haven't stopped talking about it since.
